Good response for all of us, Brad. The only thing that I could add is the fact that the great majority of officials, believe it or not, also care just as much for the ballplayers' welfare as the coaches, or even the parents for that matter. We don't want players hurt ever, even though injuries are part of the game sometime. We do want the best team to win- fair and square. We are also certainly not perfect. We will miss some calls every now and then, but we'll damn well miss them honestly.
